International series sailing dinghy : 29ER Ovington

The 29er was introduced to Europe in 1998 and immediately took the dinghy world by storm. Impeccably built by Ovington, the 29er has turned performance sailing on its head.
Why? Because, for its size and price it is simply the fastest and most thrilling sailboat available. The 29er is a no-holds barred skiff, designed on the same sleek lines as its bigger sister, the 49er.
And like the 49er, the 29er is a fully ratified International Class with a worldwide following. Everything about the 29er is world class: From the purity and simplicity of Julian Bethwaite’s design to the high-tech hull, hand crafted for exceptional lightness and strength by Ovington - the world’s No 1 exponent of high tech, championship-winning race boats.
The 29er was quickly recognized throughout the world as the major new force in youth sailing and high performance training. With a completely fitted hull weight of only 70kgs, simple control systems and amazingly light rig loads, the 29er delivers a package that gives girl teams and lightweights of all ages equal opportunities to get to the top of the world.
